Hi all, my father in law has a rental property that was completely rewired and with new split load CU five years ago. The installation is now due an inspection. Will the fact that the CU is plastic constitute a "fail"?
Well, thank you very much everyone for taking the trouble to respond and thank you Mike for the biscuit tin link. However, I regret to say I feel none the wiser! What I'm keen to avoid is the guy going in and failing it, then we'll have to pay for him to replace the CU and then to re-test and issue the certificate. I'm no longer a scam member so I can't cost effectively do it so should I just get one of Mike's thirty quid biscuit tins and have done with it?
I really would not worry. If you get a C3, will the LA know about it? You don't need to send a copy unless they ask for one.
If the tenant dobs you in and you get a remedial notice, appeal to the Tribunal.
